What? What is that used for, other than food? What's the ingredient
that's relevant to the topic at hand?

Many years ago Clark Kent as a boy wanted to make his own firecrackers. He
told his mother he needed some cinnamon.... The whole story, of course, was
another learning experience with a moral for a boy who would grow up to
become Superman. Obviously, no Superman comic would tell kids what they
really need to make firecrackers.

I included it in the list simply out of nostalgia.
